The City of Cagayan de Oro is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.659 billion Cagayanons are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The thriving Cagayanons economy, worth 207 trillion pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 56,581 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 200,279 per year while the poor average 11,541, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cagayan de Oro's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Cagayan de Oro is ranked 109,188^th in the world and 14^th in The Philippines for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,073.87 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
